    f*** sakes Vlad... stupid RBI doubles when he should be hitting HRs. What a terrible contract
  2. John_Havok
    He's never faced Fried before so... let's hope he makes it a horrible experience for Max
  3. John_Havok
    Not sure how the Jays know they'll even have 5.7 million available in 2028... not that I can read Spanish at all.
  4. John_Havok
    I agree, I just think there's enough teams thinking the same way that the "buy low" wont be as low as we think.
  5. John_Havok
    K, let's assume hes the guy. Which arms are you willing to part with?
  6. John_Havok
    Im sure thats the plan. Pretty much all the guys they got at last years deadline are in play, plus guys like Roden Im just wondering which of the pitching prospects are most likely gone in 8 days. Probably at least 1 of Rojas, Stanifer. Stephen, King... and probably more. I think they try to hang on to Yesavage unless the target is just too good to pass on. Ricky Ts injury probably keeps him safe...

    I guess. It's kinda one of those catch 22's about SPs. Managers in general always take precautions with starter health... if its a blowout win you take them out bevausecwhy have them throw more pitches in a game thats already well in hand? If its a blowout loss... same thing except you don't want them throwing pitches when the game is already lost... unless the pen is already murdered and you need them to just soak up outs. The SP is gonna be babied far more than any reliever simply because the starter is more important to the team innings-wise over the season the vast majority of the time. Then the playoffs start and it all reverses into RPs being ridden into the ground at the first sign of trouble

    not on the edges though... either way, Kirk just went fishing ... usually has a better eye. Good to get 1 back though, he was dealing with the heater.
  9. John_Havok
    and right on queue, a hangy slider. More of those please.
  10. John_Havok
    Might be a long night if Schlitter keeps painting 98 on the edges.
  11. John_Havok
    Centre cut 95... not the ideal location Mr Scherzer lol
  12. John_Havok
    About time they chucked him to Buffalo...totally missed that. lol
  13. John_Havok
    I hope the beating is so bad Pina gets into the game. Granted that would need to be about a 10-run lead in the 7th or 8th to feel even remotely comfortable with that gas can....
  14. John_Havok
    Just a point of debate... If it makes sense to save Y-Rods arm and Little's arm in a high leverage game in high leverage innings, does it also not make sense to save the SP's arm given that he has to throw far more innings for the remainder of the year and then even more again into the playoffs? Understand I'm not saying one way or the other which is "right" ... just wondering how you arrive at the conclusion that saving pen arms is preferrable to saving the SP arm who's in his mid 30's with a TON of mileage on his arm?
  15. John_Havok
    Oh...you did
  16. John_Havok
    You can say that again

    Not sure on Barreira... still fresh off injury and repeating rookie level. It would be a pretty big achievement for him to make Vancouver next season let alone AA or AAA. But even then. Vancouver has a chance to have a pretty good rotation too if Barreira, Maroudis, King etc all get there. Fernando Perez too?
  18. John_Havok
    Hasn't been an update on his progress since June. His surgery was July 30, 2024 so any kind of return to ball this season would be pretty optimistic at this point I think the last formal update had him throwing on flat ground from 120 feet
  19. John_Havok
    and hopefully Scherzer doesn't schuck
  20. John_Havok
    Oh yeah for sure, just thought you'd have included the long man in your pen list. Right now id guessing would be Berrios ... but Lauer could be as well depending on the situation
  21. John_Havok
    There's no David Price type on the market .... yet
  22. John_Havok
    Just really missing a true long man really. We also don't know when Sandlin will be back yet. What the Jays really need is some of the bubble teams to decide if they're sellers or not. Aside from Bednar and a few arms from Baltimore, a ton of the quality relievers are on those bubble teams...Cleveland, Minnesota etc
  23. John_Havok
    Agree on Soto, and Dominguez is actually a really intriguing arm from a stuff standpoint. He misses a ton of bats but walks more than his share amd limits hard contact. He might be a decent Pete Walker special, though id rather see him as an offseason acquisition than a "down-the-stretch" thing where ya try to fix him on the fly.
  24. John_Havok
    Maybe you hadn't heard...Seranthony throws a splitter.
  25. John_Havok
    I truly don't think anyone's in the FO is counting on Manoah, and his status makes no difference as to their deadline plans As the roster stands today, Gausman probably gets game 1, then Bassitt/Scherzer games 2 and 3 in whatever order with Lauer on standby to pick up after any one of them if they get booted early
